A major new artwork has been erected in Derry, made up of thousands of kites in the colours of the Palestinian flag - each one representing a child killed in Gaza.
‘A Kite for Every Child Killed in Gaza’, now on display at Fahan Street in the Bogside, is the result of a collaboration between residents, community organisations, young people, and sporting groups. Together, they’ve created a striking art piece composed of thousands of individual kites.
In recent days, dozens of people from across the neighbourhood and the wider city have come together to help prepare the installation.
Since late 2023, over 20,000 children have been killed in the besieged Gaza Strip by Israeli forces. Thousands more have been displaced, with homes and entire cities destroyed by airstrikes.
In 2011, the children of Gaza broke the world record for the largest number of kites flown simultaneously. On the coast of Gaza, 12,350 children filled the sky with messages of hope.
This artwork is a message of solidarity from the people of Derry to the children of Gaza and the West Bank: we stand with you - for peace, justice, and freedom.
Ceasefire now.
The artwork is a collaboration between Féile Derry, OLT HLC, and SureStart Edenballymore.
